  7. VI. Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates • Umayyad conquests stretch from Spain to Indus Valley (India) • Umayyad falls in 750 because: • Secular in nature • Rebellions from non-Arab Muslims • Shi’ites attacked legitimacy of their rule • Abbasid rise: • More concerned with religion • Moved capital to Baghdad; established House of Wisdom • Abbasid declines in 945 because: • Empire too big • Provinces break away: cuts tax flow to Baghdad

Seljuk Turks Animated map • Ruled by a Sultan • Defeated Byzantines in Turkey • Islamic world regressed economically/culturally: • Cities shrank • Irrigation works in disrepair • When Shi’ites/Sunnis fought, government did NOT intervene • Baghdad loses prestige and canals are destroyed • Christian Crusaders take Jerusalem 1099; Saladin retakes Jerusalem in 3rd Crusade 1187
